It seems too generous to be true. I'm still looking for the downside.
I used to be at ASA when they introduced the HSA. 2008 or 2009 I think. Anyway, same thing the HSA was lower premium wise, higher deductible and such but with the money the company kicked in it was actually a much better option than the traditional option.
So, maybe it's true haha
